Welcome to the latest edition of ICYMI from Funeral Service Insider. As always, we are here to keep you informed about the latest happenings and trends within the funeral industry. Here's what we have on deck this week: Kates-Boylston hosts the Advances in Funeral Innovations conference Nov. 12-13 in Houston. Over the course of two days, attendees will hear about some emerging trends and best practices for running their operations. Busy at Better Place: Better Place Forests is getting a fair bit of attention following a merger, a positive funding report, and a glowing feature. Partnering Up: Anthem Partners announced a preneed deal with Premier Preneed Marketing and National Guardian Life. It was the latest in a number of consolidators finding new preneed partners.  NOR Legal and Possible: A funeral home owner in Delaware announced his business will partner with Recompose to fulfill NOR requests for families until regulations allow for him to provide it onsite. New President: Mid-America College of Funeral Service has announced the appointment of David Hess as the new president.

What happens to your corporeal body, if and when it is buried in the earth?  According to Genesis in the Hebrew Torah, we come from dust and to dust we return.  The original text, however, uses the word עָפָ֣ר ("apar"), which means “earth.”  Most burials in the United States seek to protect the body from returning to the earth through containment, while cremation produces greenhouse gases and leaves behind heavy metals.  Are there other ways to go?  Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of Recompose, a Seattle-based green funeral home that composts human bodies, turning them into soil that can be spread almost everywhere.  We talk about other end-of-life choices, too.

Join us for our first-ever LIVE episode of Climate Mayhem, recorded at the historic Georgetown Steam Plant during Pacific Northwest Climate Week. We dive deep into the world of human composting and its role in the circular economy with Laura Sullivan Cassidy from Recompose and Sarah O'Sell from Anim8 Studios. Discover how end-of-life care is evolving to combat climate change, the challenges of pioneering innovative businesses in regulated industries, and the surprising connections between death care and sustainability. This eye-opening discussion explores how personal stories can lead to groundbreaking solutions and why considering our environmental impact should extend to our final act. Perfect for eco-entrepreneurs, sustainability advocates, and anyone curious about the future of green innovation.

Wow, compost lovers, we made it to season three! Thank you. That's three years of compost love being shared and celebrated. This season is going to be awesome. It will be as wide and varied as the microbes in our piles. We'll be talking with composters of all scales, new technologies, legislation, science, and some about the second compost operation, my farm, Earth Care Farm, is opening up in the neighboring state of Connecticut. There are so many ways to make compost, diverse materials, and varied scales of operation. We need it all. Let's talk about all of it. Can you feel the momentum gaining? I can.  Speaking of diverse ingredients, what an honor to kick off the first episode of season three with Katrina Spade of Recompose. Recompose specializes in human composting. Yes, we are starting this season with human composting. Such a fascinating niche in our industry. Katrina talks about the incredibly thoughtful design process Recompose uses to help connect the general public to the reverence of composting. This is a deep, caring process, fully honoring the life of the one who passed and the loved ones left behind. Human composting isn't legal in all states yet, so you'll hear how Katrina helped get that legalized in Washington in 2019. It's now legal in seven states, but so far only happening in Washington and Colorado. In my state of Rhode Island, it hasn't passed yet, but seems like it will soon.

The funeral industry is one that has remained largely unchanged with many people seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional burials or cremation. Current end of life practices can have a significant effect on the environment from energy use to greenhouse gases and soil pollution. So, one of the alternatives will be introduced by my guest today who is Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of the world's first human composting company, Recompose. Founded in 2017, Recompose describes the process of human composting as natural organic reduction. Human composting has a host of environmental benefits which supports a return to nature and a reduction in carbon and energy. At the time of recording, Maine became the 12th state in the U.S. to legalise human composting however it is not yet available in Australia.  But at the heart of today's conversation it's about more than a green solution, we're exploring the opportunity for more choice with Recompose respectfully challenging the funeral industry and current practices.  I hope you enjoy the episode. You can learn more about Recompose on their website or follow them on Instagram for updates. This audio was edited by Peter Magill.

Death is understandably difficult – and for some people, nearly impossible – to conceive of and talk about. Especially our own. It may seem like there's nothing we can do to prepare for our last moments on earth, but several innovative panelists at the 2023 Aspen Ideas Festival would disagree. Alua Arthur is a “death doula,” who helps people find peace with themselves when nearing the end of their life. A former lawyer, she founded the organization Going With Grace to help redefine the end-of-life experience. Dan Diaz was thrust into advocacy when his wife, Brittany Maynard, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2014 at age 29. Maynard wanted control over how she died, and the couple moved to Oregon for the last months of her life, where medical aid in dying was legal. Diaz has been pushing to expand legalization of medical aid in dying ever since, and has helped pass legislation in several states since Brittany's death. Designer Katrina Spade invented a way to turn humans into compost after life, and founded the company Recompose. Human composting is now legal in five states, thanks to efforts led by Recompose. Stanford medical professor and health care culture advocate Dr. Lucy Kalanithi moderates the conversation. Kalanithi's husband Paul Kalanithi died of cancer in 2015, after writing the memoir “When Breath Becomes Air.” aspenideas.org

Every body that has been lived in will eventually need to be cared for after death. What is the most earth friendly option currently available for after death care? Recompose is arguably not just the greenest but also the most careful about honoring the entire life cycle of our bodies. By composting human remains until they become soil, the planet is enriched. Partnering with land trusts when loved ones don't want the soil ensures that the cycle can always be completed. Join us to learn more about the process and the people who have pioneered it. Already available in Washington state, they anticipate expanding into other areas and licensing other providers in the near future. Knowing that we have honored the after death process contributes to a smooth transition into grief!

Nearly four years ago, provincial regulators started asking for public feedback on an interesting question: Should Ontario allow human composting? Although it's legal in a handful of U.S. states, no Canadian jurisdiction has given the green light to this greener alternative to burial and cremation. Could Ontario be the first? To better understand how human composting works — and why it's slowly gaining popularity — Frisco and Scott spend some time talking to Morgan Yarborough of Seattle-based Recompose, the first funeral parlour in America to allow it. Spoiler alert: a typical composted body from her facility fills the back of a pickup truck. Also on this week's episode: A huge congratulations to The Trillium, and a big welcome to Oakville News!

I Sverige är det bara tillåtet med kremering och jordbegravning men i andra länder finns det mer naturnära metoder, vi tittar närmare på bland annat kompostering och så kallad vattenkremering. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det har alltid varit viktigt för oss hur vi tar hand om våra döda men synen på vad som är fint och värdigt har förändrats över tid.I Sverige är idag kremering och jordbegravning de enda tillåtna så kallade begängelseformerna men i vissa andra länder använder man sig också av mer naturnära metoder.Katrina Spade startade företaget Recompose och ser ett ökat intresse för de som vill bli komposterade. Hör också Marie Eaton som begravde sin bror genom den här metoden som idag är tillåten i flera delstater i USA.Vi har också talat med Gina Sheridan som intresserade sig för en helt annan metod där man använder sig av hett vatten för att lösa upp kroppen. När hennes pappa dog valde han den här metoden som kallas för resomation och Gina och hennes systrar fick följa med i processen.För 20 år sen ville biologen Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak framställa en miljövänlig begravningsmetod genom frystorkning. Hon kallade metoden för promession men den blev aldrig verklighet. Ett tiotal personer valde ändå att bli nedfrysta när de dött för att invänta frystorkningsmetoden, men de begravdes efter drygt 10 års väntan i frysrum istället på ett tillåtet sätt, Maud Strannebys pappa var en av dem. Hör hennes berättelse.En nyligen gjord undersökning visar att kremering trots allt är lika miljövänligt som kompostering. Hör Eva Pohl, lärare i miljöteknik vid Linnéuniversitetet i Kalmar, berätta om vad som krävs för att framställa den jord som behövs vid kompostering.programledare: Lollo Collmar och Anders Diamant

Death is a process of decomposition, how can we come to embrace this reality? This week, guest Katrina Spade joins Ayana for a fascinating conversation on the possibilities of burial practices, ways to connect with death, and the value in thoughtful death plans. Sharing her journey to founding Recompose, “a licensed, full-service, green funeral home in Seattle offering human composting,” Katrina shares that the way we design death rituals matters in how connected we feel to the process of death. Detailing the science, logistics, and art behind human composting, Katrina imbues the conversation with passion, concern, and a spirit of learning. Through Recompose, Katrina has witnessed the beauty that comes from watching new life blossom from death, and from the connections family members of the deceased can have with the soil created from the composting process. The intention and compassion we put into death-care matters.  As Katrina reminds us, there is so much to be gained from intimacy with death.Katrina Spade is the founder and CEO of Recompose, a public benefit corporation leading the transformation of the funeral industry. Katrina is a designer and the inventor of a system that transforms the dead into soil (aka human composting).Since founding in 2017, Katrina and Recompose have led the successful legalization of human composting in Washington State in 2019. Recompose became the first company in the world to offer the service in December of 2020. The process is now also legal in Oregon, Colorado, Vermont, California., and New York.Katrina and her team have been featured in Fast Company, NPR, the Atlantic, BBC, Harper's Magazine, and the New York Times.

This week, we interview Katrina Spade, the founder of Recompose, a company that provides funeral service by composting the dead. Inspired by the Gratitude Blooming Wildcard - Lilac, Katrina shares her personal journey and experiences that led her to this work, including her childhood growing up in rural New Hampshire and her background in architecture and design. She explains how composting and gardening were a part of her early awareness of the cycles of life and death, and how her work with Recompose is focused on creating a more natural and sustainable way of dealing with death. She also talks about the challenges and successes of starting and growing her business, as well as the legal and societal hurdles she faced in this field. Additionally, she shares her thoughts on the funeral service industry and its impact on the environment and the rising conversation around end-of-life and climate change grief. The goal of Recompose is to make composting the default solution and to create a gathering of community to legalize and prove that it is safe. With this in mind, Katrina aims to make the entire experience, including decomposing human bodies, beautiful and to create rich topsoil in 30-60 days.Enjoy our closing practice on thinking about your own legacy and what you want to consciously leave behind!--------If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to leave us a 5-star rating and review.

At least 14 people are dead after torrential rain in California caused flash flooding across the state. KQED's Dan Brekke joins us. And, Drexel University professor Josiah Kephart talks about the potential federal ban on gas stoves. Then, New York is the latest state to give residents the option of composting their loved ones instead of using the standard burial or cremation. Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of Seattle's Recompose, offers what she calls "ecological death care." Software manager Nina Schoen says her end-of-life plan includes human composting.

Come 2027, Californians will have a new post-death option: to become human compost. A law signed by Governor Newsom this month made California the fifth state to legalize “natural organic reduction,” which lets human bodies decompose into a cubic yard of soil. While green burials — the process of wrapping the deceased in a shroud and placing them in the ground — are already legal, composting doesn't require a dedicated portion of land. And though it's more expensive than cremation, it's also less carbon-intensive. We'll talk about the new law and hear whether you'd want to become human compost. This segment originally aired Sept. 27 Guests: Courtney Applewhite, doctoral candidate studying environmental disposition ("eco-funerals"), UC Santa Barbara Cristina Garcia, assembly member, representing California's 58th Assembly District Katrina Spade, founder and CEO, Recompose

Burying Green: Eco-Friendly Death Care On The Rise Dying, it turns out, isn't carbon neutral. Like many of the choices we make in our lifetimes, the choice to cremate or preserve our bodies after death comes with tradeoffs as well. With preservation and burial, there's the carbon cost of cemetery space, the materials to make a coffin, and the chemicals required to prevent decay. With cremation, the body's carbon is released into the atmosphere through the burning of natural gas. This is one of the reasons why companies are starting to offer more eco-friendly options, such as water-assisted cremation. Composting human bodies is another option, allowing our carbon to be sequestered in the soil, and providing nutrients for ecosystems or gardens. But in the United States, these lower-carbon funereal options are often against the law. Now, that's slowly changing, with pressure from people who wish to use those options for themselves when the time comes. Producer Kathleen Davis discusses these issues and more with mortician Caitlin Doughty and Katrina Spade, founder of Recompose, a company that has pioneered the practice of human composting. Plus, the relationship between grief, ritual, and the choices we have for our mortal remains.   This Brain Prosthesis Could Improve Memory Loss When people hear the word “prosthetic,” they'll probably think of an arm or a leg. But what about a prosthetic for the brain? A team of neuroscientists is designing a device that could “zap” the brain into remembering information better, and it's targeted for people with memory loss. They're doing so by studying the electrical patterns involved in memory, then mimicking them with electrodes implanted in the brain. Ira speaks with Dr. Robert Hampson, neuroscientist at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who is working on the implant.     Making a Meal Fit For An Astronaut Life on the International Space Station throws some wrenches into how food and eating work. There's very little gravity, after all. And there are big differences between nutritional needs on Earth and in space. Astronauts must exercise two hours each day on the International Space Station to prevent bone and muscle loss, meaning daily caloric intake needs to be somewhere between 2,500 and 3,500 calories. Sodium must also be reduced, as an astronaut's body sheds less of it in space. Astronauts also have an increased need for Vitamin D, as their skin isn't able to create it from sunlight as people on Earth do. So, how do all these limitations affect the food astronauts eat? Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to answer these gustatory questions is Xulei Wu, food systems manager for the International Space Station in Houston, Texas. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

THE THESIS: The brutality of The Party throughout Covid is made ever more clear in how the Queen was allowed to die. No offense to the people of the U.K., but is there a better opportunity to examine what The Party has done to people, even as they were dying?  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Jesus' Body Is Prepared and Buried THE NEWS & COMMENT: A CNN guest seems genuinely stunned that a non-Windsor family member will not be queen. How one can cover the “ROYALS” and not understand that eludes me . . .  [AUDIO] - The reaction on @CNN when it is announced Charles is King and Camilla is Queen Consort. The new Prime Minister used to call for an end to the Monarchy, a Monarchy that is being rebuilt in America as a Technocracy . . .  [AUDIO] - PM Liz Truss called for monarchy to be abolished in 1994: ‘we do not believe that people should be born to rule' But, it is a Monarchy and I have little doubt the Queen was allowed to die surrounded by her loved ones, without being put on a drug that would attack her kidneys or having her lungs blown out by a ventilator. Far too many of her subjects were allowed no similar gentilities or care . . .  [AUDIO] - A U.K. law-maker talks about his mother dying alone from Covid [AUDIO] -  Widow not allowed to say goodbye to dying husband at hospital [AUDIO] - 'Hands of love': warm latex gloves mimic human touch for COVID-19 patients in Brazil - surgical gloves filled with warm water instead fo the hands of their loves ones.  UK: Older people in care homes abandoned to die amid government failures during COVID-19 pandemic Forcing my COVID patients to die alone is inhumane — and unnecessary ‘Cuddle curtains' are going global amid the coronavirus pandemic We can expect more of this type of thing with Charles as King. He has been a part of Kalus Schawb's increasingly evil, ever-more-powerful circle for most of his life and he is all in for the Great Re [AUDIO] - Here's [now] King Charles doing exactly what Klaus Schwab told him to do  The United States STILL has people in the laptop - Acella corridor class demanding we put the muzzles back on, you know, for racial equity and such . . .  [AUDIO] - NYT's Mara Gay Claims Masking 'Remains An Act of Solidarity' With Minorities The Great Reset is both one thing--an evil plan to make them bosses of the world--and many things like, for instance, the culture of death. Speaking of that . . .  Will the Queen's body be liquified and turned into mulch? Recompose, the first human-composting funeral home in the U.S., is now open for business [AUDIO] - “You're not human anymore at the end of the process . . . “ - owners of the human mulch business explain how it works  The Great Reset is also about controlling what people are able to know. God has prevented that for many of the people truly discipled in Christ. But, the people who run Joe Biden are defending censorship while, at the same time, trying to blame it in Donald Trump. [AUDIO] -  White House defends directing social media to censor Americans: ‘critical for American people' . . . AND, they are STILL pushing the useless, dangerous and all too often deadly mRNA injections, even invoking the word “GOD”, whom they oppose in 100% of their policies: [AUDIO] - WH covid coordinator: ‘God gave us two arms' so we can get flu and covid shot at the same time;  In the culture of death, why wait for any, you know, TESTS of these new mRNA injections? [AUDIO] - Fauci: The effects/adverse reactions of the boosters haven't been proven in a clinical trial, because we don't have TIME to do a clinical trial. Safe and effective?

Conventional funerary practices are environmentally problematic. Each year, 2.7 million people die in the US, and most are buried in a conventional cemetery or cremated. Cremation burns fossil fuels and emits carbon dioxide and particulates into the atmosphere, while burial consumes valuable urban land, pollutes the soil, and contributes to climate change through the resource-intensive manufacture and transport of caskets, headstones, and grave liners. Today's guest, Katrina Spade, knew there had to be a better way.For the show notes, visit: https://www.lifteconomy.com/blog/katrina-spadeSubscribe to Next Economy Now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Google Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you find podcasts.---LIFT Economy NewsletterJoin 7000+ subscribers and get our free 60 point business design checklist—plus monthly tips, advice, and resources to help you build the Next Economy: https://lifteconomy.com/newsletter---Next Economy MBAThis episode is brought to you by the Next Economy MBA.What would a business education look like if it was completely redesigned for the benefit of all life?

This week I return to my conversation with Morgan Yarborough, Services Manager at Recompose, to talk about branding, marketing, and aesthetics in funeral businesses. We touch on the importance of funeral homes having both well designed physical spaces, and an appealing online presence in today's deathcare world, and why putting time and energy into designing both of those things well is a smart business strategy. We also discuss what the death-planners of today and tomorrow are looking for, and how being authentic in your branding is key to any successful marketing strategy.

Summary: In this episode, Capital Insight co-hosts and securities attorneys Jenny Kassan and Michelle Thimesch talk with Katrina Spade of Recompose, a full-service funeral home specializing in human composting. Listen to catch Katrina's insight into the process of raising capital for a business that was still not legal when it started and how to stay true to your vision even when you need large amounts of capital to get your business off the ground. Bio: Katrina Spade is a designer and the inventor of a system that transforms the dead into soil (aka human composting). In 2017, Katrina founded Recompose with the goal of offering earth-centric, participatory, and meaningful death care. Recompose has led the successful legalization of human composting in Washington State, Oregon, and Colorado. In 2020, Recompose began offering the service of human composting to the public. Katrina and her team have been featured in Fast Company, NPR, the Atlantic, BBC, Harper's Magazine, and the New York Times. She is an Echoing Green Fellow, an Ashoka fellow, and a Harvard Kennedy School Visiting Social Innovator. Key quotes: “I knew that the world wanted this, and I knew that it was going to take a pretty good amount of capital.” “One of the reasons I did not want to create a for-profit was that I was afraid of losing the values that I had set up in my non-profit.” “I founded Recompose as a for-profit company that has in its bylaws environmental or social goals that sit alongside profit goals. It was a way to start signaling to investors that we weren't just about profit. Recompose is very much about an environmental and social goal: the environmental goal is creating new soil and saving carbon and reducing the pollution that happens with our [current] funeral practices - creating this beautiful ecological wealth-building practice instead. And the social goals have to do with accepting our mortality and thinking more deeply about how we're connected to the natural world as humans. That was the first thing we did to signal to investors that this is a different kind of company.” Links/socials/contact: Company website: https://recompose.life/ Company instagram: @recomposelife Entrepreneur instagram: @katrinaspade Company twitter: @recomposelife Email: info@recompose.life Angels of Main Street: https://www.angelsofmainstreet.com/
